[6.1b1, Windows 2000]

I have an errant server process.  A few times in the last couple of
hours I've noticed slim.exe consuming a lot of CPU; I've not been able
to play music at those times, so I guess it's just too busy.

It seemed to stop using cycles when I shut down the MusicMagic
application, but it still didn't respond (netstat says that something
is listening on port 9000, but I can't tell what -- so slim.exe may or
may not still be accepting requests).

The process is consuming ~174MB of memory, so I've tried to stop it
using the notification area icon.  The process didn't disappear so I
figured it was just dormant in some way, and tried to start it again --
no effect.  I now have a process consuming a load of memory but not
doing anything, and which I can't kill through the task manager (access
denied).

I'll grab a command-line kill utility soon if it doesn't disappear by
itself, but I'm wondering if there's anything diagnostic I can do while
it's here.  I'd also like to know what caused it -- it may have been a
coincidence that shutting down MusicMagic seemed to cause less CPU
usage.

Thanks,
Steve
